Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Common side effects of progesterone include nausea, weight gain, and fluid retention. The nurse should reassure the patient. There is no need for the patient to have an EKG or go to the emergency department. Assessing sodium intake may be helpful, but first the nurse should reassure the woman.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Many over-the-counter sinus and allergy medications contain antipyretics, which would affect the woman's temperature readings. The other options are not relevant.
